A Cruel Hunt That Must Be Stopped

Canada's annual seal hunt is the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet. This year the Canadian government allowed fishermen to club and shoot more than 330,000 baby seals in the North Atlantic, just to earn a few extra bucks by selling seal skins. Last year, 98.5% of the seals killed were two months of age or younger—and veterinary reports indicate that many seals have been skinned while still conscious and able to feel pain. The HSUS's ProtectSeals team was on the ice at this year's hunt to document the unspeakable violence that takes place far from the eyes of the world. Our stories and video footage has helped expose the cruelty of the hunt to the international community and put in motion national bans on the import of seal skins. As an individual, you can help protect seals by joining our Canadian seafood boycott. You will be in good company: Hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of restaurants, stores, and other companies pledge have already signed our Canadian seafood .

These precious and beautiful animals need our help!! Be the voice that they don't have and HELP NOW! By just taking a few seconds and signing this petition you are helping pass on the word to the Canadian Priminister that this is CRUEL, INHUMANE,VIOLENT and just plain WRONG! Thank you for your time!
